LYNX-DEV A Lynx_w32 printing problem

I can't print to my printer from my Lynx_w32.
This is what happened with 2 of the possible commands:

Using the command: <print %s>  I got the message: 

Incorrect command or file name.

Using the command: <copy %s lpt1>  I got the message: 

Incorrect switch /L-4400871tmp.txt 

It looks like Lynx calls the file "L-4400871tmp.txt" and uses the "/"
character to tell (a UNIX system) where the file is, am I right?  But this
does not work in DOS. Why? My guess is:  Either DOS thinks that the
character is part of the file name, but a DOS  filename must not contain a
"/" character!  Or it thinks that what comes after the character is a
switch, but such a switch of course does not exist. Hence the error
messages. 
Long file names should not be a problem for DOS in W95.

Is this the explanation to why I cannot print from Lynx? 
How can I solve the solve the problem?
